Though wee, your adventure was wonderful....we all need those little perks on days such as these...when winter lingers despite what it says on the calendar. I agree, there is just something so charming about sap buckets...I see fewer and fewer of them every year! As for the snow, it looks like you got more than we did but we got plenty, that's for sure! And, it is melting pretty quickly. Hope you find a wee adventure for today!Linda Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812556446959019991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-66554043848906389772017-03-22T22:32:56.167-04:002017-03-22T22:32:56.167-04:00Oh my gosh...you have a lot of snow!

Glad you finally found the spot. Those cookies look so good. Like many others I like those trees with buckets photo. Here in Stevens County Washington State there is water everywhere and roads had to be closed here and there because of fast moving water and water over roadways and some road erosion. What a mess. Instead of the wide open fields we usually see there is water everywhere. Homes can now be considered water front property...yikes. Glad our kids new home is high and dry.

An adventurous lunch out but nice to come home and bake with your sister - so who ate the little lamb? I do this with leftover scone dough - make a knot-like thing that the dog knows is for him.<br />A vase of flowers at this time of year sure is a pick-me-up, I buy them throughout winter too. <br />Too bad about the neighbour's maple syrup, something I'm in dire need of since I used up last years baking something. The local honey people starting making some so now I'm buying both products from them.<br />Happy Spring!Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-73118083445972151972017-03-21T13:53:03.056-04:002017-03-21T13:53:03.056-04:00I can't believe there is snow there is in the ...I can't believe there is snow there is in the 90s here... love that vase and carnations...Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393101640348893129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-43786130639045401602017-03-21T12:16:37.482-04:002017-03-21T12:16:37.482-04:00Interesting that you should mention sap buckets. ...Interesting that you should mention sap buckets. I was at a meeting the other day when one of the ladies mentioned her son harvesting sap from the box elder trees. When she told us about the process, I was amazed at all the work that goes in to making such a small amount of syrup. ~ Someone has probably already mentioned this in previous comments. K told me this past year that if you look up the place you're going (even by name and city) on your smart phone, when it comes up, there are several selections below and one is "get directions". I used that function just two weeks ago when we went unprepared to find a meadery. My search was for mead store in Fargo. It took us right there.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397087180636686873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-34907901691989973872017-03-21T11:26:43.202-04:002017-03-21T11:26:43.202-04:00Oh, Vee, you always make me laugh!

I have to say I was getting a little tired of Downton, but I hear he's got a new show in the works, so am looking forward to that. Hee, hee, Mary had a little lamb . . .

A few weeks later we had a mild spell and it all thawed! That snow can be gone in no time!<br /><br />Our friends who moved to upstate NY about 5 years ago had a small syrup business. Thankfully we are the recipients of some amazing syrup! They are moving back here this spring, so no more syrup.

I feel the same about the ranches I see disappearing locally to housing development. The Denver area s growing by leaps and bounds and many people are selling off their land to developers for big profits. Pretty soon it will be suburbia and tons of traffic.<br />We need snow or rain badly. It is so dry here that fire is a constant danger. Last year we had a couple late spring snowfalls so I'm hoping for the same. It has been warm but I never plant till after Mother's day regardless.<br /><br />I could eat pizza every day as I love it, but at this age it has to be an occasional treat. Your descriptions of the pizza shop workers made me smile--what will those ears look like at 60? lol!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-69949477857010914412017-03-20T22:15:26.651-04:002017-03-20T22:15:26.651-04:00Oh man, that pizza sure looked good!
